Eagles Look To Even Weekend Set With Phoenix

This evening the Cape Breton Eagles will have their second- and last- chance to record a home win in the month of November this evening in Sherbrooke in a rematch of a tightly played game last night.

In a month that sees the Eagles play seven road games (including a 3-1-0-1 road trip to start November), the Eagles kicked off a weekend set against the Phoenix with a 3-1 defeat on Friday night, including an empty netter. Generating shots wasn’t a problem for Cape Breton, particularly with 23 shots in the first two periods, but had trouble solving Kyan Labbé who was exceptional in the Sherbrooke goal. Lucas Romeo & Tomas Lavoie lead the physical play for the home team with eight and five hits, respectively.

While the Eagles were able to hold off Sherbrooke’s top three point getters- Thomas Rousseau, Robin Benoit, and Mavrick Lachance were all over a point per game clip before Friday but were held scoreless. Instead it was Sherbrooke’s defense that led the offense, as Jean-Félix Lapointe & Sydney Gagnon both found the back of the net.

Here’s what else you need to know ahead of tonight’s rematch!
